I invite you to join me and our Mago loving coordinators and participants to the great adventure of visiting Korea, the Cradle of Magoism, in 2013. As some may know, South Korea is anything but boring or monotonous. It is dynamic, vibrant, and passionate. Beneath the facade of modern Korea, the country that has made miracles on many levels including economic growth from the ruins of the Korean War in the 1950s and the Japanese Colonial Rule before then, there lies a very old goddess/women-centered tradition, history, and culture that even modern Koreans may not know.

I have studied Mago, the Great Goddess of Korea and East Asia, for the last twelve years ever since I encountered the topic for my Ph.D. dissertation. I am very excited and honored that I will share the fruition of my self-motivated ongoing research with you, as we together travel and visit actual regions and sites that are related to ancient Magoism! To be shared is not only my published research but also the fresh and ever-expanding discovery that I have updated to this day. I will open up our cross-cultural discussions with such wonder-ful “world-section” coordinators as Dr MAG~The Primordial (Dr. Mary Ann Ghaffurian) who will be presenting on Nascent Goddesses and the Primordial Connection: The Return to O, MaryAnn Columbia, Mago High Priestess, who has long anticipated visiting Korea with me, and Jayne DeMente, founder of Creatrix Media Live, who has helped Mago and Magoism known to a wider circle of interested people, and others. This will mark a watershed in history not only for me and Korea but also for us who are the One People of the Great Cosmic Mother, whichever name you call! You are invited to partake that historical moment!

Indeed, it is a long-anticipated vision about to be actualized once again in our time, the cross-cultural meeting of all peoples in the bosom of Mago! Explore the live but hidden side of the Female Korea now newly surfacing and surging through my discoveries of Magoism. Immerse yourself in the rich, sublime, and exuberant heritage of the female-centered civilization of East Asia/Korea from the Paleolithic to ancient and medieval times. There are tons of places, sites, artifacts, cultures, histories, and stories to be rediscovered in Korea! You will obtain the living knowledge of how Korean women and men in the past not only founded, flowered, and transmitted Maogism from generation to generation but also defended it against domestic and neighboring patriarchal forces, I hope. The veils will be lifted and the disconnected will be joined again! Moreover, Magoism will help us see the kinship in our genes, consciousnesses, and cultures. Come and join me in the first intercontinental pilgrimage to Korea!

(P.S. I thank from the bottom of my heart my old and new friends and colleagues who have asked and supported me to undertake this project. They are Mary Ann Columbia, Jayne DeMente, Dr. MAG, Bernedette Muthien, Lydia Ruyle, Anniitra Ravenmoon, Rosemary Mattingley, Anne Wilkerson Allen, Harriet Ann Ellenberger, Leslene della-Madre, Wennifer Lin, Ayele Khu Meri, Laura Newberry, Rebecca Mabanglo-Mayor, Barbara Lehner, Dorlisca Hilares, Insuk Ham, Young-Ae Kim, and many more who have expressed their interest in knowing and considering. Without you, I will still be dreaming of it!)

Thank you for your interest in reading this information! I am pleased to announce the first 2013 Mago Pilgrimage to Korea!

(The Mago Pilgrimage to Korea is a non-profit project, and we welcome donations and supports in many forms and manners. Thank you so much for your thought and action!)

5. Program will include Six Mago Presentations by Dr. Helen Hye-Sook Hwang and Inter-Continental Goddess Conference (ICGC) in Seoul National University, Symposium, Colloquium, and/or Public Event in which participants can present their work alongside Korean participants if preferred.

6. We, the 2013 Mago Pilgrims from outside Korea (Non-Korean Pilgrims), may be conjoined by Korean participants for the duration of certain days such 10 days, three days, or a day. This will create opportunities for Non-Korean Pilgrims to interact with Korean Pilgrims, and vice versa.

7. For the expenses, please send us an email to request the Participation Form in which total and itemized expenses are detailed.

Wonder-ful and thank you, Dr. MAG. Look forward to doing it with you and all others who would be participating. To be announced shortly is Call for Paper/Presentation for the Intercontinental Goddess Conference that will be held during the Pilgrim Tour.
